In 2015, VladTV asked Eddie Griffin about the then-upcoming presidential race. Eddie told Vlad he’d “most definitely” vote for Kanye West over Donald Trump because Trump is racist and ignorant when it comes to social issues. Eddie and Vlad then went on to discuss police brutality, and Eddie related a story about being beaten up by the police in Kansas City. Eddie said that getting beaten up by the police is, “A prerequisite to being a black man in the United States of America.”
